Protesters Chant ‘South Africa Must Go’ as They Storm MTN Ghana Headquarters in Accra

Tensions rose in Accra when protesters under the “South Africa Must Go” banner marched to the MTN Ghana headquarters. Demonstrators carried placards and chanted against South African businesses amid rising xenophobic attacks in South Africa. The campaign is a response to ongoing violence against African migrants in South Africa. Videos show crowds converging on the telecom giant’s offices, demanding that South Africans leave Ghana. On May 27, more than 300 Ghanaians evacuated from South Africa arrived in Accra. Officials promised a “hero’s welcome” and support package for returnees. The foreign affairs minister said they would be treated with dignity, not as refugees. He also praised Ghana’s stability and hospitality, noting regular inflows of foreigners who feel at home. A high-level delegation, including the chief of staff, was set to receive the evacuees at the airport.
